| Profile: I am a
pediatric anesthesiologist and member of the Acute Pain Management
Service (APS). I provide anesthesia and pain management services
to both adult and pediatric patients. I have been at UVA since
January 2005 and was appointed chairman of the Committee in the summer
of 2005. I think I was chosen because I believe that people are the
University’s primary resource and that their welfare is paramount to
the success of the Institution. I work in the 2nd floor operating
rooms at University Hospital, the out-patient surgery center and on the
floors at University Hospital when covering the APS. I usually
have one non-clinical day per week for academic pursuits and
administration. My office is in the Department of Anesthesiology
on the 4th floor of the old medical school. If you wish to contact
me please use e-mail or page me. If you would like to make an
appointment to meet with me please contact my assistant, Dave Alpern,
at 924-5635. |

Profile:
I am a cardiovascular physiologist
interested in regulation of blood flow and blood pressure, with a focus
on investigations at the microcirculatory level. My particular
interest at the moment is in the ways in which gap junctions unify
signaling between of smooth muscle and endothelial cells. I have
been at UVA since January 1968 and I have moved through the ranks here
beginning as a post-doctoral fellow making $333.33/mo. I was the
founder and director of the Cardiovascular Research Center and have
served on more committees than I can remember. I have served on
journal and grant review panels through 6 presidents and 3 boom-bust
cycles of the NIH. I am the past-president of the
Microcirculatory Society and the American Physiological Society.
I have been involved in most aspects of biomedical research,
administration, and politics during the course of my career and I think
I understand the challenges facing a faculty member in 2006 from many
different perspectives. I guess you might say that I know a lot about
the joy of discovery and the agony of defeat. If there is
anything that I might offer in the way of encouragement or help give me
a call at 4-9040.

| Profile: My experience as a University faculty member has
been at two different institutions, Brown Univ. and UVA. At Brown I was
hired as an Asst. Prof. and promoted to Assoc. and full Prof. in an
environment with an emphasis on undergraduate bachelor's degree
education that included classroom teaching, academic advising and
directing student research projects, while also teaching first year
medical student and graduate courses. Here at UVA SOM I have been
Center director with the focus on research and training of Ph.D
students and postdoctoral fellows. Work in my lab looks at how protein
kinases and phosphatases transmit signals from receptors to regulate
cell growth, division and death. We use cultured cells and study their
responses after DNA transfection and siRNA knockdown. Every year since
its inception I have lectured in the MiniMed School and talked about
biomedical discovery research to schools, civic groups and legislative
staff. Service on a variety of University committees as well as those
for national professional societies, and activities as a consultant for
companies, give me some basis for offering advice and perspectives to
fellow faculty. |

| Profile: I am a
neurologist specializing in the evaluation and treatment of
movement disorders. After graduating from the University of Miami
School of Medicine, I completed a Neurology Residency and Movement
Disorders Fellowship at the University of Virginia. As a member

patients with Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, dystonia,
tremor, Tourette's syndrome, and other conditions and participate in
several multidisciplinary programs for the specialized care of patients
with complex movement disorders. I direct the HDSA Center of Excellence
at the UVA Huntington's Disease Program, which provides clinical
services well as genetic counseling to patients and families through a
multidisciplinary clinic. In addition, I provide neurologic
consultation for movement disorders in the Functional Neurosurgery
Clinic and direct the Dystonia-Botox Clinic. As a member of both
the Parkinson's Study Group and Huntington's Study Group, I also
participate in clinical trials of new pharmacologic treatments for
these conditions. I have been a member of the Faculty Advocacy
Committee since August 2002 and have a particular interest in issues
affecting work environment and professional development for
faculty. |

Associate Professor of Clinical Internal Medicine (Cardiovascular
Division)
University of Virginia School of Medicine
Phone: ( 434) 924-9605
E-mail: djohns@Virginia.EDU |
| Profile: I am an
associate professor of clinical internal medicine with special interest
in prevention of diseases of the heart and blood vessels and a focus on
defining clinically relevant gender differences. During the first 10
years of my faculty life I explored the molecular and electrical world
of the kidney's juxtaglomerular cell aiming to define the role of renin
in blood pressure regulation. My research and clinical training have
given me an understanding of the joys and challenges of both career
paths. Presently I chair the Medical Student Advocacy Committee, the
SOM Committee on Women and the University Cemetery Committee. I teach
medicine in clinical and classroom settings such as POM, Minimed
School, JILL and the Cardiology and Internal Medicine CME courses. My
office is in the old medical school wing (NTH 3705) and I am available
by email, phone (4-9605) and/or page (2183). |

Profile: I
joined the Department of Pharmacology here at UVA in 1999. My
research is on the molecular physiology of voltage-gated calcium
channels. I also teach Pharmacology in both the Medical School
and Graduate School. I have been a member of the Faculty Advocacy

psychiatrists I have a natural interest in the well being of our
students, staff, and faculty. To advertise this interest the

contact me at the above addresses.
